In American fertility clinics, 75 percent of couples are requesting girls and not boys.

If you look at total numbers in the working and middle class, men still on average make more than women.

If my own current husband was suddenly a stay-at-home dad, it would be emasculating. That would be hard for me.

In the US in recent years, around a third of all open management positions have gone to women. My research over the last three years has shown that the trend is going in the same direction at all levels. And by the way, it's not necessarily that the rise of women is causing the end of men - it's more the other way around. An increasing number of men are failing during their education, losing their jobs and then not managing to get back on their feet, so women have had to step in. The driving force here isn't feminist conviction, it's economic necessity.

Feminism was about making women's lives less constrained and giving them more choices.

Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.

Men are now also in the minority among the entering traditionally male-dominated areas such as law and medicine. Finance and politics are still firmly in male hands, but in many other areas it seems the proportions are shifting in women's favor. Boys are doing worse at school and university. It's only logical that this imbalance, which can be observed in most industrialized countries, will change conditions on the job market.
